Please write a (full) 3-page paper discussing the articles and video.
The first and second pages should include a discussion regarding your opinions and thoughts on the articles and video.
Be specific and use at least 2 examples from each article/video when responding.
The third page should include examples in current women’s magazines of the problems revealed and discussed by the various editors and writers interviewed in the articles. You may use a hard copy of a magazine or an online copy of a woman’s or men’s magazine.
Make sure to include the (1) magazine you found the article in, (2) the issue you are using, (3) the name of the column or article, and its author.
Give specific details when describing the article(s) you are discussing.
For example: look for small print that says “names have been changed” in the articles you are reading. Look for exaggerated claims regarding sex (or other topics) and its impact/benefit on health and beauty. Look for quotes from “real women & men” that don’t sound like how a real person might speak about sex (or other topics). Look for instances where magazine journalists may be trying to push an agenda and make it seem like “everybody” agrees with their point of view. Are you afraid to voice your opinion on certain topics in public for fear of backlash, people shaming you for your opinion, or being “cancelled”?

by | Jan 28, 2023 | Writing

For your next major assignment, you will be tasked with writing a technical object description for an audience who is unfamiliar with the object, so you will need to think of items that might be considered technical objects. Some good examples for that assignment include a clock radio, a digital thermostat, a Roomba, a CPAP or BIPAP machine, a blender for a food processor.
For this discussion, you will be discussing various aspects of writing a Technical Object description. For this assignment, you will create your initial post and then respond to two of your peers. In your initial post, you need to answer the following questions in narrative form.
What characteristics make the above items technical objects?
What is the difference between a technical and a non-technical object?
When writing a description of a technical object, would it be more important to use subjective language (big, short, ugly, beautiful) or objective language (18 inches tall, painted red, square base?)
What technical objects do you use in your work/life that you are familiar with and could describe to someone who is not familiar with it?
